Mulhouse — Mülhausen to its German administrators — was an Alsatian industrial city with a long history of textile manufacturing wealth and a predominantly French-speaking population that had been absorbed into the German Reich following the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71. By 1918 the broader war economy had so thoroughly disrupted the Reichsbank's ability to supply adequate small change and low-denomination notes that municipalities across the occupied and annexed territories were authorized to issue their own emergency currency, known as Stadtgeld or Notgeld.
Gebrüder Parcus in Munich was one of the more prolific printers of municipal Notgeld during this period. The watermarked paper was a deliberate security measure against local counterfeiting — the stakes for a city already operating under wartime rationing were not trivial.
